Get Downtown
Kim said, "Jimmy, you better get yourself up off of that raggedy couch
I'm too pretty to work, and I'm tired of you uglying up my house"
Jimmy said, "Baby, the guys at the top are doing bad as the guys on the street"
Kim said, "The guys at the top ain't about to be paying alimony to me"
Say go downtown, see what you can find
Put your face in someone's that ain't mine
Looks like them unemployment blues are wearing out your house shoes
Baby, left when your boots came untied
Jimmy said, "Baby, ain't you seen the news, it's as far as the eyes can see
Foreigners are coming in and doing our jobs for half of what they would've paid me"
You mean half of what you would've made for something you've never done
Sounds like the bright side to all this Jimmy is your asking price went up
Now get downtown, see what you can find
Put your face in someone's that ain't mine
Looks like them unemployment blues are wearing out your house shoes
Baby, left when your boots came untied
Jimmy said, "Baby, if I work for your daddy, it's worse than being his son"
Kim didn't like what he said one bit, and it didn't surprise him none
She said, "Daddy took good enough care of my mama, she hardly had to say a thing"
Jimmy said, "That's part of what's wrong", Kim said, "Don't you say another damn thing"
Just get downtown, see what you can find
And put your face in someone's that ain't mine
Looks like them unemployment blues are wearing out your house shoes
Baby, left when your boots came untied
I'm too pretty to work, and I'm tired of you uglying up my house"
Jimmy said, "Baby, the guys at the top are doing bad as the guys on the street"
Kim said, "The guys at the top ain't about to be paying alimony to me"
Say go downtown, see what you can find
Put your face in someone's that ain't mine
Looks like them unemployment blues are wearing out your house shoes
Baby, left when your boots came untied
Jimmy said, "Baby, ain't you seen the news, it's as far as the eyes can see
Foreigners are coming in and doing our jobs for half of what they would've paid me"
You mean half of what you would've made for something you've never done
Sounds like the bright side to all this Jimmy is your asking price went up
Now get downtown, see what you can find
Put your face in someone's that ain't mine
Looks like them unemployment blues are wearing out your house shoes
Baby, left when your boots came untied

Just get downtown, see what you can find
And put your face in someone's that ain't mine
Looks like them unemployment blues are wearing out your house shoes
Baby, left when your boots came untied
